Vague
Well, I don't expect to have many readers, to be clear I don't expect to have any, so this is a sort of personal diary.The declaration after the FAO meeting does not pintpoint solutions, just guideline that could be interpreted arbitrarily.
For instance among the medium-long term objectives:
We urge the international community, including the private sector, to decisively step up investment in science and technology for food and agriculture. Increased efforts in international cooperation should be directed to researching, developing, applying, transferring and disseminating improved technologies and policy approaches. We urge member states, to establish in accordance with the Monterrey Consensus, governance and policy environments which will facilitate investment in improved agricultural technologies.
What does decisively means? 1%, 5%, 10% gdp, more?
What kind of technologies, with what boundaries?
I shall investigate further about the Monterrey Consensus, as soon as I have some spare time.
